Quotes
A few quotes from some significant Jewish figures, which show how their belief in Jewish racial supiority, obviously based on their religion (citations in parentheses after name):
“The body of a Jewish person is of a totally different quality from the body of a member of any other nation of the world.... The Jewish body looks as if in substance it were similar to the bodies of non-Jews, but ... the bodies only seem to be similar in material substance, outward look, and superficial quality. The difference of the inner quality, however, is so great that the bodies should be considered as completely different species. This is the reason why the Talmud states that there is a halachic difference in attitude about the bodies of non-Jews.... Their bodies are in vain ... An even greater difference exists in regard to the soul. Two contrary types of soul exist. A non-Jewish soul comes from three satanic spheres, while the Jewish soul comes from holiness.”
- Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson, the "Lubavitcher Rebbe" (Israel Shahak and Norman Mezvinsky, Jewish Fundamentalism in Israel (Pluto Press, London, 1999), p. 59-60.)
“The difference between a Jewish soul and souls of non-Jews — all of them in all different levels — is greater and deeper than the difference between a human soul and the souls of cattle.”
- Rabbi Kook (also from same Shahak’s and Mezvinsky’s book Jewish Fundamentalism in Israel, p. ix.)
“We have to recognize that Jewish blood and the blood of a goy are not the same thing”
- Rabbi Yitzhak Ginsburg (New York Times, June 6, 1989)
“One million Arabs are not worth a Jewish fingernail”
- Rabbi Yaacov Perrin (New York Daily News, Feb. 28, 1994).
“If every simple cell in a Jewish body entails divinity, is a part of God, then every strand of DNA is part of God. Therefore, something is special about Jewish DNA.”
- Rabbi Ginsburgh (Jewish Fundamentalism in Israel, p. 62)
“If a Jew needs a liver, can you take the liver of an innocent non-Jew passing by to save him? The Torah would probably permit that. Jewish life has an infinite value. There is something infinitely more holy and unique about Jewish life than non-Jewish life.”
- Rabbi Ginsburgh (Jewish Fundamentalism in Israel, p. 62)
